Nextcloud Deployment Recommendations

What does a typical Nextcloud deployment look like? The answer varies greatly according to your needs and IT infrastructure. In this article, we will provide you with guidance to install and maintain Nextcloud according to your own needs. Nextcloud and the LAMP stack are highly configurable, and we identified three main case scenarios they can address. Once you established which scenario fits you best, you can follow the recommendations and adapt them closer to your needs.
